Definitions
- the invention concerns a plastic toothed wheel for a toothed wheel pump, the wheel body of which comprises external or internal teeth having at least one tooth cavity accessible from at least one tooth end face.
- Toothed wheel pump toothed wheels of this kind are disclosed in DE GM 298 10 548.9.
- the hollow tooth design of such toothed wheels facilitates manufacture of teeth having uniform walls, wherein the wheel weight is considerably reduced. Prolonged lifetimes can be achieved by using special plastic materials for manufacture of the toothed wheel.
- toothed wheel pumps having such toothed wheels for supplying and pressurizing engine oil in automotive vehicles leads to intolerable splashing losses when the teeth are hollow.
- This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by closing the tooth cavities at the front or by filling them up with a temperature and media resistant, light-weight filling material of low specific weight.
- the tooth cavities can thereby be formed with an opening penetrating completely through the teeth in the direction of the wheel axis or by shaping the teeth as basins (as viewed in longitudinal section).
- a lid for each front-end tooth opening e.g. via closing elements preferably formed on a covering plate which is mounted to the front end of the toothed wheel.
- Such covering plates can be mounted to the toothed wheel after injection-molding of the wheel body.
- the covering plates are preferentially disposed in the corresponding front end of the wheel body at such a depth as to end flush and coplanar with the front end of the teeth.
- Such covering plates can be made from thin walled plastic or metal, in particular aluminum, and can be glued to or into the wheel body.
- the covering plates to be mounted on both sides of the toothed wheel can be advantageously attached in a rigid, mutually connecting fashion using connecting elements protruding into the tooth cavities.
- the amount of plastic needed for producing the wheel body can be reduced and toothed wheels comprising external teeth with walls of identical geometrical shape can be effected when the wheel body comprises a hub and a toothed ring surrounding that hub at a radial distance therefrom, wherein the toothed ring and hub are connected to one another via radial bridges.
- the hub and toothed ring thereby define large volume cavities in the teeth which can be closed at the front end, depending on the design of the wheel body, with one or two covering plates.
- Foamed plastic e.g. silicon foam can preferentially be used to fill the teeth cavities with a temperature and media resistant filling material.
- plastic materials can be used for the wheel body and the filling material.
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- PES polyester
- plastic combined with ceramic powder can be used as the filling material.
- Filling of the cavities with filling material can be advantageously effected directly after injection-molding the wheel body and within the injection tool (2K method).
- FIG. 1 shows a front view of a first embodiment of a wheel body of an internal toothed wheel of a toothed wheel pump, wherein the cavities of the teeth are accessible from one end face only;
- FIG. 2 shows an axial section along the line II—II of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a front view of a covering plate for closing the cavities of the wheel body
- FIG. 4 is a representation similar to FIG. 2 with a covering plate disposed on the wheel body;
- FIG. 5 shows an axial section through a wheel body, corresponding to the peripheral shape of the wheel body in accordance with FIG. 1, whose tooth cavities are open at both end faces;
- FIG. 6 is a representation similar to FIG. 5, wherein the wheel body is closed at the front by the covering plates;
- FIG. 7 shows a front view of the toothed wheel in accordance with FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 shows a front view of a structural variant of a covering plate
- FIG. 9 shows an axial section through the covering plate in accordance with FIG. 8, viewed along sectional line IX—IX thereof;
- FIG. 10 shows an axial section through the wheel body in accordance with FIG. 5 which is closed at both front ends by covering plates in accordance with FIG. 8;
- FIG. 11 shows an axial section through a wheel body, similar to the wheel body in accordance with FIG. 2, whose cavities are filled with a foamed filling material.
- the wheel bodies 20 of the various embodiments of internal teeth for toothed wheel pumps in accordance with the invention shown in the drawings are injection molded from plastic, e.g. PEEK and have e.g. identical peripheral shapes, comprising a hub 22 and a toothed ring 24 with e.g. five teeth 26 surrounding the hub 22 with radial play.
- Both parts 22 , 24 are interconnected via radial bridges 28 which bridge the separation between the hub outer circumference and the toothed ring wall portion 30 in the tooth base region.
- a cavity 32 therefore extends between neighboring radial bridges 28 into each of the teeth 26 .
- the structure shown permits formation of a thin walled hub and toothed ring 24 with a correspondingly low weight for the wheel body 20 and which therefore can be manufactured with less material.
- connection piece 38 In order to provide the teeth 26 in the side region with sufficient rigidity despite the thin walls of the toothed ring 24 , at least one connection piece 38 , bridging the mutual side gap, is disposed within the teeth 26 in the transition area between the tooth sides 33 , 36 and the toothed ring wall portion 30 , tangentially to the hub 22 , and is preferably disposed in the longitudinal center of the teeth (FIG. 2 ).
- 40 designates internal hub teeth for secure rotation of the internal toothed wheel with a pump shaft on which it is mounted.
- FIG. 2 shows that the cavities 32 of the wheel body 20 are closed at one front end such that, viewed in longitudinal section, the teeth 26 are shaped as basins, with the basin bottom being designated with 42 .
- the wheel body 20 comprises a circumferential inner shoulder 44 at its open end face which is offset from the outer end face of the toothed ring 24 by an amount corresponding to the thickness of a covering plate 46 .
- the covering plate 46 prevents splashing losses and matches the circumferential shape of the wheel body 20 in such a manner that it can be inserted with positive fit into the end-face cavity 48 formed by the inner shoulder 44 .
- the covering plate 46 has a corresponding central recess 50 for the internal hub teeth 40 and is preferably held in the wheel body 20 by gluing (FIG. 4 ).
- the variant of a wheel body 52 shown in FIG. 5 differs from the wheel body 20 in that its cavities 54 axially penetrate the wheel body. To avoid splashing losses, these cavities 54 are closed by covering plates 46 inserted at both end faces of the wheel body 52 which are disposed like the ones shown for the covering plate 46 of FIG. 4 .
- FIGS. 8 to 10 show a further possibility for fastening the covering plates, designated in their entirety with 56 . They are constructed for mutual mechanical connection, wherein gluing into the wheel body is no longer necessary.
- one of their end faces is provided with connecting elements 58 protruding therefrom which are each disposed on circumferential projections 60 closing the front ends of the teeth 26 .
- Each covering plate 56 is preferably formed as a one-piece plastic molding part, wherein their connection elements 58 protrude into the cavities 54 and can be brought into locking engagement with one another.
- the connecting elements 58 can be fashioned differently. It is e.g. feasible to design the connecting elements 58 such that they are locked into each other.
- this is effected using a pin connection for which the connecting elements have a central recess 62 .
- One covering plate 56 can be provided with pins 64 inserted into these recesses 62 , which are brought into frictional engagement with corresponding recess 62 in the opposing covering plate 56 when disposing the covering plate 56 onto the wheel body 52 .
- the wheel body of the construction variant of a toothed wheel shown in FIG. 11 corresponds preferably to the wheel body 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the structural difference with respect to the last-mentioned embodiment is that the cavities 32 of the wheel body 20 , which are closed on one side, are not closed by an end-face covering plate 46 , rather are filled with a foam filling material 66 having temperature and medium resistant properties.
- the plastic material could e.g. be the same as used for injection-molding the wheel body 20 .
- the volume integrated weight is considerably reduced by foaming the plastic, so that the weight of this toothed wheel corresponds approximately to that of the one whose cavities 32 are closed by the covering plate 46 .
- the filling material may also differ from the material used for the wheel body 20 .
- a ceramic powder or the like can be mixed with the plastic which is to be foamed.
- the wheel body 20 can also be designed in a different manner than described and can be analogous e.g. to that of the toothed wheel having external teeth as disclosed in FIGS. 1and 2 of DE GM 298 10 548.9.
